Dear Sir;- Met Rand yesterday and went over the timber matter with him. He has options on about 1500 acres, with good prospects of more. Some of this is desirable I think while other of it is not so much so. There are others of course that could do business with if you were decided and we were in a position to come right out and make offers. Some you understand object to giving options, to any one.
He showed me a letter from Mr. Nash, who is a Conductor on the O.R & N. out of Pendleton and who I think talked with Mr, Nibley some little time ago. Winans has an option on 480 acres until the 17th, of this month, at $3ooo.oo per quarter. This I have understood was very fine timber and is reasonably well located. Winans told Will and I that he had options on this but the fellow would not part with it for less than $3500.00 per quarter, so his commission is readily grasped. You will find if you ever get well acquainted with this Wils Winans that he can stretch the truth to considerable extent and not even change the tone of his voice, so, what he might give out as information could not very well be relied on.
Rand is corresponding with other parties and will soon have definite information as to what they will do - this no doubt by the time that that it can be looked over, which, we now think next week.
Columbia river is now coming up and I presume that when it does get up that Davidsons will be wilting for it to go down - as they are now

for it, to come up. Horrible weather yesterday and to-day. Raining in torrents with river so rough that we are unable to handle any stuff. Planer running nicely and some very good orders on hand. Yours truly,
